The smile on Tong Xue's face fell a little.

It's not terrible to be ugly in front of people, as long as you are thick-skinned, you can treat it as if you don't know.

But if someone is teased in front of him without concealment, that person still laughs "hahahaha" and laughs non-stop, thinking that this is a very funny thing, and of course the person who is teased will feel uncomfortable.

Simply covered her face with a veil, and she tugged at the corners of her mouth indifferently. Then he pretended to be embarrassed and lowered his head, but the bulging cheeks on both sides were quickly falling together, and finally swallowed the half of the braised lion's head in the laughter of everyone.

After eating the food in her mouth and carefully wiping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, she stood up unhurriedly, bowed generously to Emperor Xining, and replied with a smile: "Back to the saint, the courtier is the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan." ”

How can there be a trace of embarrassment on the face of a teenage girl?

Emperor Xining looked at the moist eyes that were different from ordinary people, and he could vaguely discern a trace of stubbornness from those seemingly soft eyes.

The stubbornness and arrogance exposed by this edge are like a silk thread, instantly pulling him back to more than ten years ago, and like a string, stirring the softest corner of his heart.

"Your mother, is she okay?" Emperor Xining looked at Tong Xue and asked almost distractedly.

Because of this question, the Queen Mother, who was originally smiling, suddenly accepted the smile on her face, and the imperial concubine clenched the chopsticks in her hand.

For some reason, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly condensed.

Even the lord of Jiahe, who is usually angry at mediation, is a little puzzled why the old ancestor would be because of the emperor's uncle's words. Suddenly, his face changed.

The imperial concubine's heart was almost uncomfortable, but she had to cheer up her face, and explained with a forced smile: "I heard that your mother was extremely dangerous when she gave birth, and this palace talked about this matter in front of the saint from time to time, so when the saint saw you today, he remembered this stubble. ”

The imperial concubine's words were quite a bit of a feeling that there were no three hundred taels of silver here.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face became more and more condensed, and even Qiu Muyun and the county lord of Jiahe, who were sitting on either side of her, also became breathless and cautious.

Tong Xue's face was as usual. He also smiled kindly at the imperial concubine. "Thank you for your concern with the concubine, her mother has been able to get out of bed and walk, her body is slowly recovering, and her sister is now very strong. It's like a normal baby. ”

"So good! Dingyuan Marquis did his best for the saint. Your mother takes care of the back house. Honoring her mother-in-law, raising her children, I heard that she was fine. Hongu was very pleased. "The imperial concubine is sincere and authentic.

Emperor Xining put away the smile on his face, and looked coldly at the imperial concubine who pretended to finish saying these words, and pulled the corners of his mouth quite sarcastically.

The imperial concubine naturally knew that her appearance would please Emperor Xining, but a few people present, except for Tong Xue, who looked childish and still a little girl who had not dried up, the rest of the people, whether they were looking at the gentle and generous Qiu Muyun, or the county lord of Jiahe, or even their own somewhat dull cousin and nephew, their minds were very exquisite.

If today, because of Emperor Xining's question, the rumor of "thinking about the wife of the minister" spreads out, and is guided by someone with a heart to find out the public case of the explosion of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion more than three months ago, then in these days, the situation of harmony between the monarch and the minister that she and the Queen Mother have tried to create will be completely ruined.

Even Dingyuan Marquis Tong Jingxuan is in charge of 30,000 forbidden troops, if he has this rebellious mind, the so-called far water can't solve the near fire

The imperial concubine was born in Jiangmen, although her father died early, and her brother was not angry, but she had a famous cousin, coupled with these years of experience in the palace, her vision and knowledge were destined to be far greater than ordinary women, and it also made her more aware of the so-called truth of moving the whole body.

However, Emperor Xining didn't seem willing to buy her account.

"You are very similar to your mother when she was younger." Emperor Xining looked at Tong Xue's face, and finally focused his gaze on her undodging eyes.

Tong Xue smiled on her face, and lowered her eyes respectfully and detachedly, "The three slave sisters all inherit their mother's appearance. ”

In the eyes of Emperor Xining, she was like a little hedgehog with teeth and claws, instantly retracting all the thorns, tightly encircling herself, and making a defensive posture.

"I'm full. Don't be restrained, talk to the Queen Mother more. Emperor Xining said, standing up, wanting to leave.

Although he had a faint and soft smile on his face, his heart was full of joy.

How did he not know that his behavior was a little out of line.

But he's the emperor on high!

Sitting on the entire country, admired by all the people, and holding the power of life and death, why can't he be willful?

However, looking at the look on the faces of the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine as if they were facing a great enemy, and watching this little girl who raised her hands and gestures, like a miniature version, instantly built a solid defensive fortress in front of him, Emperor Xining instantly felt extremely bored.

Twelve years ago, he had never entered her heart, and who was he fighting with all these years?

Emperor Xining couldn't figure out the thoughts in his heart for a while, and returned to the spacious and lonely Qianqing Palace, and sat alone for a long time, but he couldn't suppress the irritability in his heart.

Finally, he stood up from his seat abruptly, and said to his personal eunuch with an extremely impatient expression, "Drive Yifu Palace!" ”

The personal eunuch snorted and shouted outside the hall, "The emperor is driving Yifu Palace." ”

Yifu Palace is located in the northwest corner of the harem, adjacent to the cold palace, far away from the Qianqing Palace, where lives the biological mother of the second prince, the lowly status of Yi Concubine.

The emperor sat on the royal palace and blew the cold wind for half an hour, and when he arrived outside the Yifu Palace, the irritability in his heart had subsided somewhat.

He stood outside the palace and paused for a moment, his face hesitant, which stirred up the rebellious factor in his heart, and made him stride towards the threshold and go straight to the room where the only light was on.

Yi Concubine is afraid of the dark, so when she sleeps, the room will also be lit with lights, as bright as day.

For this reason, Emperor Xining snubbed her for many years.

"Emperor!" The personal eunuch was about to make a report, but was stopped by a gesture from Emperor Xining, but when he walked outside the door and did not reach out to push the door, the door had been opened from the inside.

"The concubine has seen the saint." Concubine Yi was wearing a plain cloak, her face was respectful, her expression was indifferent, and her whole person was like the light moon surrounded by a circle of clouds today, revealing a cold temperament all over her body.

Emperor Xining stepped into the room and sat down on the only rose chair in the room, and he did not speak, but sat there in silence.

After Yi Concubine put the night light on the table, she stood silently a foot away from Emperor Xining.

The two seemed to be more energetic, obviously in the same room, but they seemed to be strangers, ignoring each other. (To be continued......)
